As the title says, I can't seem to get my new G7 fly to charge, I just got it the other day and when i turned it on it had a low battery and turned back off, no big deal I thought so I consulted my owners manual and the manual told me before the first time I use it that the marker would most likely require around a 4 hour charge, no big deal, so I busted out my charger and my cobra paintball charger adapter plugged it in and let it go for four hours, the little screen came up poweron and stayed like that. After four hours I unplugged it picked it up and turned it back on to my dismay it still showed the battery was really low and as I was going through the settings it turned off on my again. Any Ideas, I'm thinking its either A: a bad battery, B: a bad charger, or C: a bad board. I guess the good thing is its still under warrenty since i've only had it for 2 days now. The bad thing is I really wanted to use it this weekend so if someone wants to give me any pointers or just tell me "your screwed!, send it off to a master tech who can actually help you" that would be great.

Thanks all,
Zack
